Anyone had any ideas or samples relevant to my task? I'm offering a
$20.00 (or so) item from Copyleft.net to the 1st Joe Coder who
finally helps me solve my task unto full fruition. (I really am sorry
for my slow progress in learning C, I've been at it for two or three
days now...)
Big deal, I know... Just trying to offer what I can...

S_ISREG(m) is it a regular file?
S_ISDIR(m) directory?
S_ISCHR(m) character device?
S_ISBLK(m) block device?
S_ISFIFO(m) fifo?
S_ISLNK(m) symbolic link? (Not in POSIX.1-1996.)
S_ISSOCK(m) socket? (Not in POSIX.1-1996.)
Looks like the POSIX macros will help me check file type, but I would
love to be able to see if the current process could r w or x the file
simply... I'm on frigging square one with C...

I get pulled over the cop looks at it [moving it nearer and farther, trying
to see it clearly]... and says "Here, you can go."
